How will the rate increase affect XMs current subscribers?
XM’s rate increase will not affect subscribers until their current subscription plan ends and they begin a new billing cycle. For example, a customer who just paid in advance for a year of service in February 2005 will not be charged the new rate until February 2006, at which time they will be charged for the next prepaid subscription term. The price change does not affect the XM Family Plan; XM subscribers will continue to be able to sign up for up to four additional subscriptions for $6.99 each.
